James Potter & The Marauders' Map

Chapter One

JAMES' POV

I walk downstairs only to find I'm the last one up, my mum and dad are currently making breakfast together, whilst Albus is playing Wizard Chess with Lily.

"Finally, you're up!" Lily shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Lily, what have we told you about shouting indoors," Dad told her off.

"Sorry," Lily muttered only just loud enough for Dad to hear.

I walk over to the dining table where there's some Dumble-O's left at the table. According to Dad the cereal was made in memory of his old Headmaster, when he was at Hogwarts. I pour my cereal into the bowl as I can't do much magic yet and I only just got my wand. After I finish my cereal I head upstairs to get changed. I find our House-Elf has already laid down my clothes for today. It's a pair ofJeans and a shirt. We don't wear our robes until we're on the train.

"Can I come in?"

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Me, Al,"

"Fine,"

Al walked in carrying his portable chess set (apparently all the rage nowadays but I don't see what's so good about it)

"Where's Folly?" he asked.

Folly's the House-Elf. "I dunno, she just laid down our clothes on our beds,"

Al just shrugged and walked off.

"Are you ready James?" Mum asked. I nodded. We ran into platform 9 and 3/4 for the first time and I closed my eyes. I opened them. There it is, the Hogwarts Express. Bigger than I imagined. I can see Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron with Hugo and Rose waking over to us.

"Big day today, isn't it!" Uncle Ron exclaimed.

"Yep and..." I saw that Uncle Ron was looking in my bag with my school books.

"Is that...? No, never mind." I knew he had just seen the Marauders' Map, he looked at me and just winked. Uncle Ron's the best.
